SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure. The two warning lamps comes
on at the same time and the two
warnings are displayed alter-
nately in the instrument panel
screen.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.



Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompa-
nied by the indication on the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the anti-lock braking system which could
result in a loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. If these two warning lamps come on,
linked with the warnings on the instrument
panel screen, they indicate a malfunction
of the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces. The warning lamp comes on for
a few seconds when the ignition
is switched on (ON position). If it
does not switch off or does not
come on, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When the vehicle is stationary

When the vehicle is moving
If this warning lamp comes on
continuously it indicates a mal-
function of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the ve-
hicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.

Front seat belts


The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side im-
pact. Depending on the severity of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belts against
the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the oc-
cupant, so improving their protection.

SAFETY

AIRBAGS


The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subse-
quent accident), the airbag will
not operate.










Front airbags

System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.

Deployment
The airbags are deployed simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact applied to all or
part of the front impact zone A
, in the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from the
front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of harmless smoke and a
noise, due to the activation of
the pyrotechnic cartridge incor-
porated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may expe-
rience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.



System designed to maximise the safety of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detec-
tors record and analyse the front and side
impacts sustained in the impact detection
zones:


- in the case of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear cen-
tre passenger); immediately after the
impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the occupants,

- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-
vide optimum protection in these
situations.

6
SAFETY
If the airbag warning lamp and
the display come on continuously,
do not install a "rear facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on on the in-
strument panel and this display appears
on the instrument panel screen, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact. To ensure the safety of your child,
the passenger's airbag must be
deactivated when you install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed
if the airbag were triggered.
This warning lamp comes on in the centre
console panel when the ignition is on and
until the airbag is reactivated.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch A
to the "ON"
position to reacti-
vate the airbag and so ensure the safety
of your front passenger in the event of an
impact.
The associated warning lamp goes off.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can
be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactiva-
tion switch A
,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
remove the key.

DRIVING

Stopping - Starting on a slope


Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the parking brake instead.

When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.


Switching to sequential mode

Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/-
.

"D"
disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession in the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear.

Switching to automated mode


Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position D
.

"D"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the conditions of:


- driving style,

- road characteristics,

- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.

Auto sequential mode
In the automated mode, you can take
over control temporarily at any time
using the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...).
Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can:


- move to position N
to leave the
gearbox in neutral.

- leave a gear engaged, such as fi rst
or reverse.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.


Operating anomaly

With the ignition on, if the message "Slow down"
or "Maintenance required"
ap-
pears in the multifunction screen, this in-
dicates a gearbox malfunction.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:


- slow down and stop your vehicle in
a safe place,

- place the lever in position N
and let
the engine run,

- open the bonnet to allow the engine
to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or ap-
pears frequently, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay.
Press the brake pedal fi rmly
while starting the engine.

Start the engine. "N"
appears in the in-
strument panel screen.
Select fi rst gear (position D
or +/-
) or
reverse (position R
).
Release the parking brake.
Release the brake pedal then accelerate.

"D"
or "1"
or "R"
appear in the instru-
ment panel screen. The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF"
control for ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
At low speeds, when approaching a
stop or traffi c lights for example, the
gearbox changes down to fi rst gear au-
tomatically.

DRIVING

"Normal" automatic mode


Select position D
.

"D"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in automatic
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.

"Temporary" manual mode
In automatic mode, you can take control
temporarily at any time using the steer-
ing mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster change down than that
offered in automatic mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automatic mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF"
control for at
least 2 seconds.



"Sport" automatic mode

From automatic mode, you can engage
"Sport" mode.
With the vehicle moving or stationary,
push the thumb wheel A
forward.

"SPORT"
appears in the instrument
panel screen.

Switching off "Sport" automatic
mode
You can return to "Normal" automatic
mode at any time:
Push the thumbwheel A
rearward once.



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you
must engage position P
or N
to place
the gearbox in neutral.
You must apply the parking brake to im-
mobilise the vehicle.
The gear lever must be in position P
to
remove the ignition key.


Hill start assist

To assist you when starting on a gradi-
ent, your vehicle is fi tted with a system
which immobilises it briefl y (approxi-
mately 2 seconds), the time required to
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal. This function is
only active when the vehicle has been
completely immobilised with your foot
on the brake pedal and on certain gra-
dients.

Do not get out of the vehicle during
the hill start assist temporary immo-
bilisation phase.

To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient
for a longer period, you must use the
parking brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.

DRIVING

Operating fault

Reverse gear
Flashing of the indicator R
in the instru-
ment panel screen, accompanied by an
audible signal, indicates a malfunction
on engaging the gear:
Press the brake pedal, position the gear
lever in position N
and engage reverse
gear again.

With the ignition on, if this warning light
comes on, accompanied by vibration
in the pedals and the message "Main-
tenance required"
on the instrument
panel display, this indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
If the message is displayed, carry out
the following operations:


- slow down and stop your vehicle in
a safe place,

- place the lever in position P
or N
,
apply the parking brake and let the
engine run,

- open the bonnet to allow the engine
to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or ap-
pears frequently, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay.

Overheating of the engine may re-
sult in unwanted declutching of the
gearbox.
